On JLCPCB panelization and economy offer
JLCPCB changes conditions all the time, the situation described here applies to November 2024.

MK0 of BLE-RC transmitter
Continuing on BLE-RC transmitter.
RC transmitter using BLE [WIP]
An ESP32 RC remote with display that works over BLE
Moving on to RC transmitter
I’ve created a page for the development of the transmitter. Expect updates there. So far I’ve created a breadboard prototype that is able to c...
Finally RC kit project has a video!
I finally made a video about RC kit project:
Useful parts: TWS headphones
Another issue of "Useful parts", this time about TWS headphones.
Updates on RC kit and BLE-RC firmware
BLE-RC firmware
RC truck taking shape
Bodywork
Updates on RC truck and BLE-RC electronics
A latest video of state of the project (mid-august):
3D-printed RC kit for 1/87 vehicles
3D-printed RC conversion kit instead of usual metal parts
Updates on the projects
There were no updates for a long time due to my vacation, but finally here are some.
Arduino Nano Expansion Board
With options for motor, OLED display and Nunchuck
Useful parts: pogo pins
I’ve recently encountered spring-loaded pogo pins for PCB testing.
Crane updates
The crane mechanics is close to completion
Container crane, motorized [Idea]
Motorized container terminal crane in HO scale. This is currently only an idea.
Research on hardware selection
For the project, BLE hardware needs to be chosen. I’ve considered 2 options: using a ready-made BLE board and custom-made PCB.
BLE-based micro scale RC receiver
A 10x14mm PCB with nRF52 MCU
Motor board delivery updates
So, the JLCPCB and LCSC orders were made on April 28.
Motor control board
A small PCB to control motors in small-scale models. I’ve developed it as part of the portal crane.
Motor board for portal crane
For some time I’ve wanted to develop a PCB again. Last time I did that was around 2021, when I made LocoNet-equipped decoder and command station for...
Level-luffing crane, motorized and 3D printed [WIP]
3D printed and motorized model of a horse-head portal crane in HO scale
Introducing a 3D-printed DIY powered 2-axle chassis
A 3D-printed powered chassis for 2-axle locomotives.
